Freedom in the 50 States

Came across this article, just curious as to what everyone thinks and where their state comes in. There's a link in there to the actual full study if anyone is interested. My state of Maryland doesn't do well.

Its not a real surprise. The states with lowest freedoms are the states with high population density which also tends to equal largest % of undereducated people. So their votes are easily swayed into trading their freedoms in exchange for free housing and other welfare dollars.

not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I like your danny mcbride avatar, so kudos my man

Obviously some taxes have to be paid, but my thinking is more personal freedom allowed to us by the federal level would require less taxation...

But more feedom = less control, and control = power and the government wants power, therefore must have control. And it is in the nature of government to grow and to grow it must necessarilly obtain more power/control over us.

It is stoppping this growth and pushing it back into it's proper place that seems to be next to impossible right now with Obama in office and the far left runing everything in congress. And the Obama Mafia that is ACORN doesn't help either.
